Orchard Grass Alfalfa Mix is a versatile and nutrient-rich blend of grass and legume hay, offering a balanced diet for a variety of livestock. This mix combines the palatable, soft texture and sweet aroma of orchard grass with the high protein and calcium content of alfalfa. The orchard grass provides essential fiber, supporting digestive health, while the alfalfa contributes additional nutrients and energy, making it suitable for animals with higher nutritional needs. This blend is particularly beneficial for horses, providing a balanced source of energy and protein, and is also ideal for lactating goats, sheep, and cows, supporting milk production and overall health. When assessing the quality of Orchard Grass Alfalfa Mix, look for a mixture of green, leafy alfalfa and fine-stemmed orchard grass, with a pleasant, fresh aroma and a high leaf-to-stem ratio. This mix offers the best of both worlds, ensuring your animals receive a well-rounded and nutritious diet.

Buying hay in a 3x4x8 feet large square bale form offers significant benefits, including easier storage and handling due to its compact shape. Large square bales are also more efficient for feeding large numbers of animals, reducing the frequency of bale changes and saving time. Best of all, large squares are usually cheaper than conventional small squares.
